Video Library
Good news! Banzai's educational videos are here. To give you total flexibility, we've included two formats:
- 16x9 (Landscape): Best for websites, classroom presentations, and community events.
- 9x16 (Vertical): Built for social media (Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and video posts).
Each video is packaged in a compressed (.zip) folder organized by target age group. Inside each download, you'll find the core video files (.mp4) and closed captioning files (.vtt) in English, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Chinese (Simplified).
You can integrate the captions easily by importing the .mp4 into any video editing software (free or paid), attaching the corresponding .vtt file, and turning captions on.
Browse by Age
Foundational videos for elementary-age learners (ages 5–12, grades K–6) covering coins and bills, earning income, financial institutions, managing risk, money values and budgeting.
Middle and high school videos (ages 11–18, grades 6–12) covering borrowing, opportunity cost, interest, taxes, investing and goal-based saving.
Videos for teens and adults in your community covering budgeting, accounts, loans, credit, investing, retirement, saving, scams and the Wellness Center. Includes no-logo versions.
Best Practices
For Communities
These educational videos open up a world of possibilities for educational use. You can always come up with your own (no doubt more creative) ways of using them, but if you need some ideas to get you started, here are some ways we've thought up to help you get these out in front of your communities quickly:
In-Branch Digital Video Loops
Looking for content to throw up on your institution's TVs? This is a great tool. You have the freedom to use our Banzai-branded videos or download our "no-logo" versions and edit in your logo using a video editing software of your choice. Using your logo on the videos means consumers see your brand front and center while learning.
Using these looped videos in this manner is good no matter how you play your cards, but if you target the content of the videos to specific, relevant "zones" within your branches, you can make sure the videos are reaching a good target audience. For example: place fraud and digital safety videos near teller windows or ITMs where people conduct cash transactions, and run budgeting or home loan videos in waiting areas.
Web Placement (16x9)
Anchor the videos to specific product pages rather than burying them all in a video hub. An example of this would be putting the "How Do Mortgages Work?" video on the First-Time Homebuyer loan page.
Another good feature to pair these videos with is Banzai's CTAs. For example, you can drop a CTA like "Questions about your credit score? Schedule time with a loan officer" with the "How Does Credit Work?" video.
Social Media Uses
Align your social media posts with seasonal financial habits like you would with any of our other educational and social content. This means pairing fraud and security videos with cybersecurity awareness months or credit education videos with credit education months. We have a content calendar prepared for you if you want to see some of these financially themed holidays here.
Chop the videos into smaller segments and post 9x16 cuts directly to Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts with a hook in the caption directing viewers to your institution's financial wellness portal.
Multilingual Support
Leverage the .vtt files for community compliance by activating the Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, or Chinese captions, allowing marketing teams to launch targeted digital campaigns to specific non-English-speaking demographics. Then track engagement with these financial literacy videos across diverse language demographics to serve as solid supporting documentation for Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) reviews.
Employee and Member Service Tools
It's not a surprise when an account holder comes up to your employees with questions surrounding certain topics like credit and mortgages. These videos can act as frontline support for loan officers, Financial Service Representatives (FSRs), and Member Service Representatives (MSRs).
It can also be a good way to explain a perceived negative interaction from a denied application, whether mortgage, personal, or auto loan. Your employees can use it when someone gets denied when applying for any type of loan or line of credit. Staff can follow up with an email containing the credit video and savings goal resources as a relationship-building alternative to a cold rejection.
For Schools
School Visits
Use these videos as little ice breakers when your employees or staff go in to perform scheduled school visits. These 2- to 3-minute videos can be great opening conversation starters for both school and community events.
Brand Awareness and Teacher Communication
Send links to these videos along with other co-branded Banzai flyers when reaching out to local school districts or teachers as an introduction to the type of educational content you offer to teachers.
Career Day or "Day In the Life" Content
Use these videos when attending school/teacher conferences and on-site school educational days.
"Teach Children to Save" & Financial Literacy Month (April) Workshops / School Visits
Send staff volunteers into local schools during April or national savings drives, supporting them with these youth videos and relevant worksheets from the toolkit.
Reality Fair & Banzai Simulation Kickoffs
Play relevant videos surrounding earning income, budgeting, and more to give students an idea of what type of simulation they're stepping into before they experience it. This is a great way to kick off high or middle school "Reality Fairs" or hands-on budgeting days where students are assigned an income and must navigate bills.
ESL or Dual-Language Classroom Visits
Volunteers may struggle in schools where English is not every student's first language. That's where the multilingual closed captioning comes in. Use these videos to help connect with these students as best you can. Paired with other multilingual workbooks, it could be an excellent bridge to students who speak very little or no English.
A bilingual staff member can let the subtitled video establish technical terms (like principal or escrow) in both languages simultaneously, making the following bilingual Q&A session much more accessible to students and their parents.
